Part of the reason there are so many vending machines around is preparation for a disaster; vending machines from at least the last 15 years will dispense drinks for free in the event of a disaster.
According to this site Coca Cola dispensed around four million free drinks on 2011/3/11 (Great East Japan Earthquake).

- rip_lavabit 9y agoIf the vending machines are giving stuff away, what will CNN fill airtime with, when they can't complain about looters?! Just kidding, I know they will just speculate about the possibility of it instead.
- Cthulhu_ 9y agoIf the looters politely just took some groceries they needed but couldn't pay for because the local economy was in disarray then I'm sure they wouldn't complain. It's batshit people hoarding TV's and shit though.
